The concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere is sensitive to changes in the depth at which
sinking particulate organic matter is remineralized: often described as a change in the …

Accurate representation of the remineralization of sinking organic matter is crucial for
reliable projections of the marine carbon cycle. Both water temperature and oxygen …

As particulate organic carbon rains down from the surface ocean it is respired back to
carbon dioxide and released into the ocean's interior. The depth at which this sinking carbon …

The ocean's “biological pump” significantly modulates atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
However, the complexity and variability of processes involved introduces uncertainty in …

To assess the sensitivity of surface ocean pCO2 and air‐sea CO2 fluxes to changes in the
remineralization depth of particulate organic and inorganic carbon (POC, PIC), a …

Biological oceanic processes, principally the surface production, sinking and interior
remineralization of organic particles, keep atmospheric CO2 lower than if the ocean was …

The “biological carbon pump” causes carbon sequestration in deep waters by downward
transfer of organic matter, mostly as particles. This mechanism depends to a great extent on …

Changes in the marine remineralisation of particulate organic matter (POM) and calcium
carbonate potentially provide a positive feedback with atmospheric CO 2 and climate …

Temperature‐dependent remineralization of organic matter is, in general, not included in
marine biogeochemistry models currently used for Coupled Model Intercomparison Project …

Remineralization ratios (–O2: P, Corg.: P, N: P) in the ocean are estimated from ocean tracer
data using a new approach, which takes into account the effects of local exchange across …
